Club career

Early career

Petrasso joined the Toronto FC Academy in 2013, when he was 12. Petrasso joined the Senior Academy team in League1 Ontario in 2016, making his debut on June 4 against ProStars FC, where he scored an 86th minute game-winning goal to win the match 3–2.

On September 23, 2017, he scored four goals in a 5–1 victory over North Mississauga SC.

On March 15, 2018, he signed his first professional contract with Toronto FC II in the second-tier USL. He made his professional debut on April 26 against the Richmond Kickers.

He scored his first professional goal on April 6, 2019, against Orlando City B, which was the club's first goal in USL League One after the club dropped down to the third tier in 2019. He re-signed with the team for the 2021 season.

Toronto FC

On January 11, 2022, Toronto FC announced they had signed Petrasso to the senior side as a Homegrown Player through 2023. He made his MLS debut on March 5, starting against the New York Red Bulls, recording his first assist on a Jesús Jiménez goal in a 4–1 loss.

Orlando City

On November 9, 2022, Petrasso was acquired in a trade by Orlando City in exchange for $300,000 in 2023 General Allocation Money, with the potential for an additional $50,000 in 2024 and $50,000 in 2025 should certain conditions be met.

On December 5, 2024, it was announced that the club had allowed Petrasso's contract to expire and they were not interested in pursuing an extension.

Loan to Triestina

On January 12, 2024, Petrasso joined Italian Serie C club Triestina on loan with an option to buy. Petrasso made his debut for the club when he started in a 2–1 victory over Pro Vercelli on January 20.

In total, during Petrasso's loan spell he made 14 appearances across six months, but the club ultimately did not purchase the player.

CF Montréal

On January 13, 2025, CF Montréal announced that Petrasso had been invited to attend a training camp ahead of their 2025 campaign. On February 7, Petrasso signed a one-year contract with the club, with club options for 2026 and 2027.

Petrasso made his debut for the club when he started in the opening match of the season in a 3–2 loss to Atlanta United on February 22. On May 14, Petrasso scored his first goal for the club and his first MLS goal in a 1–1 draw with Columbus Crew.

Petrasso scored his second goal for the club to equalize and help Montréal to a 1–1 draw with D.C. United on August 16. For his performance against D.C. United, Petrasso was named to the bench of the Team of the Matchday for the first time in his career. At the conclusion of the season, CF Montréal extended Petrasso's contract.

International career

In 2017, Petrasso represented the Canada U17 team at the 2017 CONCACAF U-17 Championship.

In May 2023, Petrasso was listed on the Canada preliminary rosters for the 2023 CONCACAF Nations League Finals, and again on February 26, 2024, Petrasso was named to the Canada provisional roster for the 2024 Copa América qualifying play-offs against Trinidad and Tobago.

On October 3, 2026, Petrasso received his first call-up to the national team when he was added to the roster ahead of their match against Peru.
